Import and Export (Text Library)

The Import and Export functionality in the Text Library Settings allows you to transfer content between Doc Gen environments or systems.

This is useful for:

  • Sharing predefined content with other environments or customers
  • Moving configurations between projects
  • Creating backups before making changes

All data is handled in JSON format.

Export Data

The Export Data feature lets you download Text Library content based on a selected scope.

Export scope

You can choose what to include:

  • All Data
    Exports all text elements, groups, styles, and table styles

  • Specific Groups
    Export one or more selected groups

    • Includes all text elements within the group
    • Automatically includes related styles and table styles

This allows you to share only relevant parts of your library.

How to export

  1. Go to Text Library → Settings → Export Data
  2. Select the Export Scope
  3. Choose All Data or specific groups
  4. Click Export & Download
  5. Save the .json file

The exported file contains all required metadata and relationships.
